from the country's point of view, if we get a big deal, a big megateal, it will be very, very healthy for the finances. so i think we need to separate out what's good for the country versus what's good for the politics. in terms of the politics of it, i have been very surprised at how much the president is conceding, up front, without getting very much in return. in fact, as far as i can tell, he hasn't gotten anything in return. >> is that good for the country? the truth is, when you have a big "titanic" war like this, you want people to be agreeable, but you also want them to represent their interests, because they're supposed to represent the interests of a lot of people in the country. >> i'm someone who believes that the simpson/bowles commission report was a sound way to go. and they called for cutting $2 of spending for every $1 in tax increases or revenue increases. i thought that was pretty sound. in britain, they did three-for-one in the cameron conservative government. but there was always a one. there was always a revenue increase. i personally think that's the right way t

he was always striving for a big deal. from the speaker's perspective, the white house at the last minute from their view moved the goal posts. they -- what it sounds like, not only comes to some agreement on a framework, but they were talking real details on some of these proposals, having to do with cuts and spending cuts and medicare and enconstitutitlemen all that. after this agreement that they have come to -- it had reached, they say the white house moved the goal posts. and in their view, speaker bane her to step back, take stock of the situation and really look at the calendar very seriously. as he said had, to do something because the white house's vision was not in line with that of congress. and that's why speaker boehner has now made this very aggressive move saying he's now just working with congress on this. >> jessica, we're running very tight on time tonight. i want to get through a lot fast. is there a sense when you look at the numbers that both sides talk about, even if you take their conflicting version

and i'm a big space geek. i love that. we'll see you back here tomorrow. "in the arena" starts right now. >>> good evening and welcome. i'm tom foreman. tonight we are getting mixed signals about a possible back room deal on the debt ceiling just hours away from what president obama at least at one point called a deadline for a decision. "the new york times" says president obama and the republican speaker of the house john boehner are close to an agreement. roughly it would involve $3 trillion in cuts and an eventual overhaul of the entire tax system. here's the catch, though. other sources are shooting down the idea that this is even happening as fast and hard as they can. listen to boehner himself earlier today on rush limbaugh's radio show. >> rush, there is no deal. no deal publicly, no deal privately. there is absolutely no deal. >> no deal, no deal, no deal. now, here's the white house spokesman jay carney. >> there is no deal. we are not close to a deal. we are -- obviously, the president is in discussions with all the leaders of congress as well as

but if you raise the debt ceiling and don't cut spending, you'll have the same big problems. that's the answer to your question. the compromise has to cut spending. we have to respond to what everybody in america is saying and what the world credit markets are saying which is our problem isn't the debt ceiling. our problem is the debt. >> cutting spending and the balanced budget amendment are two different things. one may accomplish the other, but this they are still separate things. is the balanced budget amendment a drop-dead requirement? >> i don't have a drop-dead requirement? i have a whole host of things that my constituents have sent me here to do. cutting spending is one thing and balancing the budge set another thing. what we can do right now is make sure we're cutting spending today. don't give me a deal that cuts spending ten years down the road. show me what you're going to do this year and next year, before americans go back to the polls. >> simple but sort of strange question. are you happy tonight? >> i'm not happy tonight. we started this process back in febru

and of course, these are very big boots to step into. and i have to say, from what i'd heard, it's no surprise that james murdock has not, it would seem, been fully equal to the task. though i think one has to be cautious and say it will be some time before we know the full story here as to what he knew and didn't know and what he did and didn't do. >> james murdock seemed to be the real champion of this giant deal over there for bskyb. and his father seems to be the one who say, no, we're not going to do that right now, we can't do it. is this deal to quote "the princess bride" all dead or only mostly dead? >> well, the deal, had it not been sunk as i think it has been by the scandal, would have been very good indeed. this british sky broadcasting has revenues of something over 6 million pounds, i believe. that may be dollars. in any event, a year, of which the profit is close to 1 billion pounds or dollars. it's an awful lot of money. compare that with the newspapers here that he owns which, you know, it's nickels and dimes. so the rea
